Known Issues / Frequently Asked Questions:Q: Camera and/or sensors are not working! (Mi 8/Mi 8 SE/Mi 8 EE/Mi Note 3/Mi MIX 2S)
A: You wiped "Persist" partition using an unofficial TWRP build. You shouldn't have done that.
You'll now have to flash persist.img (that's inside "persist_*.zip" for your device) using the same unofficial TWRP build you used to wipe it.Download persist.img: [ Mi 8 ] [ Mi 8 SE ] [ Mi 8 EE ] [ Mi Note 3 ] [ Mi MIX 2S ]Q: The "Hide notch" setting is missing on Android 9.0 (MI 8/MI 8 SE/MI 8 Pro/MIX 2S/POCO F1)!
A: You can't hide the notch on Android 9.0 based MIUI ROMs. This was explicitly disabled by Xiaomi. Don't report this issue to us.Q: I can't use "Always on display" on my Mi Note 2!
A: Despite having an AMOLED display, Mi Note 2 doesn't support the "Always on display" feature. Don't report this issue to us.Q: The battery percentage text is too small!
A: This was Xiaomi's decision, and no, it's not possible to revert to previous style. Don't report this issue to us.Q: Vertical clock is not working on the lockscreen when there are notifications.
A: That's by design. The vertical clock leaves no room for notifications, hence it switches back to horizontal clock until you swipe away all of the notifications.Q: Dual apps are showing when Dual apps feature was not enabled.
A: None of our modifications touch the Dual apps feature. Whatever this is you're having seems to be a glitch with MIUI itself. I would recommend a data wipe and a fresh install.Q: There is a "Users" setting without an icon in Settings.
A: "Users" setting is not part of MIUI. Turn "MIUI optimizations" back on in Developer settings. There's no reason to disable this.Q: Weather app can't connect to the network!
A: Sometimes one of Xiaomi's weather data servers can have an extremely slow response time, so the connection times out. The server is randomly picked, so only a fraction of the users will encounter this issue. To solve this you can either wait until the server is stable again, or clear app data for Weather app and launch the app again in order to refresh the server list and use a different server for weather updates. If it still doesn't connect, it means that the same server was picked again, so you'll need to repeat the above until a responsive server is picked.

Hello.
8.9.20
Google Photos detect my phone as Pixel, and i can't change the size / resolution of the uploaded photos.
Clean flash and using stock miui camera that comes with the rom.
I'm not sure if this is really a issue that's need to be fixed, since my photos got uploaded at max resolution without decreasing my storage size.

I don't know if this is the place to report a bug or should I just start a new thread. If so let me know.
My problem with my Pocophone (MIUI 8.9.20) is silent mode: If I set silent mode, vibration automatically activates (as per settings). If I unable vibration and disable silent mode it disables it, but then if I try to set it again it does set the phone to silent but doesn't show on quicksettings (icon doesn't turn blue), and also the icon does not disable silent mode again.
The bug is easier to reproduce if you go to settings and untick the "vibrate on silent" setting. If you try to set the phone to silent mode it will do it but the quicksettings icon will not show it and you can't turn silent mode off.

It's vague because there's no detailed reproduction steps and configuration information for developer to work with. It's like telling a garage to fix your car without even telling them what exactly happened or even what car you have.

If a developer doesn't have enough information to reproduce what you are seeing, they can't fix it. It's not magic.

Hi! I reported few bugs for MIUI 10 (8.9.2.0) and MiPad4 in my thread (link bellow) and didn't get any answer. Can someone check this? My friend, me and another Xiaomi.eu forum user confirmed all bugs I listed in this thread. Thanks in advance!

[ 8.9.20 ] Mi Max 3. Clean install (all wipes).
In the settings for applications (WhatsApp, Telegram, Messaging) I disable "Floating messages", but they still appear. In the applications they are disabled.
And why are they still on the list of permissions?

Members

1. Android Auto doesn't seem to work consistently and is very slow to connect if at all. It takes about 5-10 minutes for it to connect if it works at all.
2. Any video chat application (Line, Skype, Google Duo) has the audio of me breaking up consistently (Video is very clear and stable), I can always hear the person on the other end just fine. Video quality looks good on both ends. Audio only calls work flawlessly however. (Using video chat apps or cell calls)

Side Note, Android Auto appeared to function correctly in 8.9.13, the Video Chat Microphone bug has been around since at least 8.8.9

Try setting Importance to Urgent and then disabling "Floating notifications".
"And why are they still on the list of permissions?" - pay no attention to this list. We use our own notification settings. This list is a relic of MIUI 9 that should have been removed on Oreo/Pie ROMs.

Hi,
I have weird problem after MIUI 10 update with Mi4C. Phone keeps turning my wlan on, while I have hotspot enabled. This keeps disconnecting hotspot.

I have turned everything off from settings, rejected all programs from running, restricted access to pretty much everything possible. Nothing helps. Dometimes it takes 5mins next time 3h but for sure it hits again.

As I said all that done, yet happening. Also location blockked, from location, changed to GPS only and from permissions to maps ets. everything off and still switching from hotspot to wlan.

I have been using this phone since miui 7 (I think) for like 1.5 years, updating to developer almost weekly, went from Android 7.0 back to 5.1 when thought it was heating too much, changed battery, been helping people around here with updates etc. and never seen this behaviour before.

Ohh yeah FYI I have 100/100 4G connection, unlimited data, dont need wifi for anything else than tethering for comps, dont have saved wlans to join or anything like that. PC getting cut from web 20 times a day cause phone turns wifi on is bit frustrating, specially if gaming.

Weird, my daughter's Redmi Note 4 running official global stable started doing this a few weeks ago, without any updates having been done.
I.e., wifi was always on and could not be turned off, hotspot could not be turned on

It was on an older version, don't remember which.

So I let it update to the latest official global stable MIUI 9 it could get via OTA, and the problem disappeared.
